STAR & DAGGER is a blues-rock/metal group made up of good friends Sean Yseult (WHITE ZOMBIE), Dava She Wolf (CYCLE SLUTS FROM HELL), Dave Catching (EAGLES OF DEATH METAL), Gene Trautmann (QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE), and the sublime vocalist Von Hesseling.
The band's debut full-length album, Tomorrowland Blues, was recorded at Rancho de la Luna, produced by Ethan Allen and Dave Catching, and mastered by J. Yuenger (White Zombie). The album will be released via Cauldron 333, distributed by MRI, on July 23rd.

Star & Dagger was formed with auspicious beginnings: Sean and Dava were drinking late one night with the legendary Lenny Kaye (noted rock journalist and founder member of the PATTI SMITH GROUP) and he declared: "You two must start a band, I see it!" They took his word and set to it.
The band layers dense guitars onto a heavy groove, strung together by Von's towering vocals, which have the soul and presence of TINA TURNER crossed with CHERIE CURRIE. The band has recently attracted much attention, selling out their first show in LA and opening for HIGH ON FIRE, HELMET, Eagles Of Death Metal, DOWN and SAINT VITUS. They performed at the 2012 Voodoo Fest and have plans for shows on the West Coast and the UK for spring 2013. Star & Dagger's first recording emerged a few months ago, a 12" vinyl, titled In My Blood.
